People were 　　10　　 to serve themselves at the continental breakfast；it was my 　　11　　 to walk around the room and refill coffee and juice．But some people wanted me to do 　　12　　 for them．I remember one man who kept 　　13　　 me to get his food and demanding things we did not 　　14　　．He was also very critical．Even though I wanted to say，“Go and get it yourself．”I knew it was my job to be 　　15　　 and do in a nice way whatever I was told．So I'd take a deep 　　16　　 and somehow get what he wanted．

Still，I've never forgotten how it felt to be spoken to so 　　16　　．Today，whenever I am in a cab or a restaurant，I always try to be as thoughtful as possible．Service-industry jobs are not easy，and they're even 　　18　　 when people treat them like dirt．

My first job also helped me gain confidence．After that summer I realized that what I had been afraid of in acting was 　　19　　．I now knew that it would be worse if I failed at it without really trying．I decided to give it all my 　　20　　．If I failed，at least I would always know that I had done my best．

　　I entered St Thoma’s Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there． I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it．I wanted, I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evening, after my high tea, I wrote and read．Before long, I wrote a novel, called Liza of“Lambeth”, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted．It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success．It was of course an accident, but naturally I did not know that．I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession ; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book．Looking back now, and knowing as I do the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk．It never even occurred to me．

　　The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of ￡ 100 a year．Then I had a bit of luck．The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed ; the next play he arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wits’ end．He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced．It ran for fifteen months．Within a short while I had four plays running in London at the same time．Nothing of the kind had ever happened before．I was the talk of the town．One of the students at St Thomas’s Hospital asked the eminent surgeon with whom I had worked whether he remembered me．“Yes, I remember him quite well,”he said．“One of our failures, I’m afraid．”
